Yesterday Tim Bontemps of ESPN, upgraded his trade grade for the Kings from a D+ to a C- regarding last year's trade with the Pacers. He can't be serious....a C-? Does he ever watch the Kings? Domantas Sabonis is having an MVP caliber season and is largely responsible for the Kings being 4 games over.500. Sabonis has also made De'Aaron Fox a better player. Bontemps should be embarrassed by this. Unbelievable! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today I catch up with John wood, golf analyst for NBC Sports and the Golf Channel. John was a frequent guest on my radio show in Sacramento when he was a top caddy on the PGA Tour. He has made an incredible transition to on the course commentator for NBC and the Golf Channel. On today's show John discusses the transition from caddy to broadcaster. I also ask him about the state of the PGA Tour with the advent of the LIV Golf Tour. We then get into the best courses in the world and the best holes in golf. John has incredible insight, but one of his answers blew me away! John loves Pebble Beach, Augusta and the Old Course at St Andrews. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Last time I checked there are three games left in the NFL regular season. Yesterday the league announced the Pro Bowl selections. Why? Do the final three games mean nothing? Makes no sense to me! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How are you feeling today if you're a San Francisco Giants fan? 24 hours ago they were getting ready to hold a press conference to announce the signing of Carlos Correa who agreed to a 13 year $350 million dollar deal last week. There was an undisclosed issue with his physical so the presser was postponed. Then in the middle of the night the Mets agreed to a 12 year $315 million dollar deal with Correa, also pending a physical. Unbelievable!!! What an awful off-season for the Giants!

The Kings lost the Hornets last night in a bad, bad loss. The Hornets entered play with the worst record in the league and had played the night before. Inexcusable! Now the Kings are 16-13 instead of 17-12 as they continue their long homestand tomorrow against the Lakers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Two days ago, we witnessed one of the dumbest plays to end a game as the Patriots lateraled the ball to the Raiders who scored as time expires to win the game. On today's show I look at some of the worst moments in sports. Bill Buckner, Leon Lett, John van de Velde, Brett Favre, Jim Marshall just to name a few. I really think these mishaps is what makes sports so beautiful, so unpredictable and so addicting to so many. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The 49ers beat the Seahawks last night to clinch the NFC West and now the question is can they win it all. Brock Purdy once again played well at QB and the defense is superb. Many are debating if the 49ers are the best team in football. Isn't that what the playoffs are for? Should be fun to watch! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

After two bad games against the Knicks and Sixers, the Kings bounced back last night with a hard fought one point win. They were down by 16 at one point and trailed 94-88 entering the 4th quarter. There is something about this year's squad that is clearly different. Your eyes tell you that and so do the standings. We shall see if they can close out the trip with another W tomorrow in Detroit against the Pistons! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Last night the kings looked bad again as they were controlled early and often by Joel Embiid and the Sixers. The Kings are now 1-3 with two games remaining on this trip. De'Aaron Fox returned to the line-up after missing two games with a foot injury and was ineffective. His backup Davion Mitchell remains an offensive liability , so the Kings are not getting efficient scoring currently from their point guard position. We shall see if they get back on track tonight in Toronto. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

If you want to know how messed up the NFL schedule is just look at this week. Teams should never play a divisional game on a Thursday night, but this week the 49ers are at the Seahawks. Meanwhile in the NFC East the Commanders host the Giants. Washington is coming off a bye and are playing the Giants two games in a row. In Buffalo the Bills will host the Saturday. The Dolphins are playing their third straight road game and had their last game flexed to Sunday in LA. Just absurd scheduling by the NFL! Learn more about your ad choices.

The Kings are coming off a bad loss as they lost to the Knicks yesterday. They were really never in the game and played without De'Aaron fox for the second straight game. Fox is out with a foot injury. One thing is very clear to me and that is Davion Mitchell is an important piece for the Kings, but as of now he isn't a starting point guard in the league. Some fans have been critical of Fox the past two weeks, but the Kings miss him big time! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

How bad was last night if you are a fan of the Raiders? Embarrassing! Baker Mayfield who has been with the Rams since only Tuesday took his team 98 yards in less than 2 minutes with no timeouts for the winning touchdown. Pathetic for the Silver and Black!

The Raiders have had a lot of bad losses over the years, but last night has to be near the top of the list. Baker Mayfield who had only been on the Rams for 48 hours took his team on a 98 yard drive in less than two minutes with no timeouts for the winning touchdown with nine seconds remaining. On today's show I talk about their futility over the past 20 years. When you look at the Raiders season by season during that span, they only made the post-season twice and lost both times. Things don't appear to be getting any better this year! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Last night the Kings began their six game trip with a loss to the Bucks. De'Aaron Fox struggled big time which has been more of the norm since winning Western Conference Player of the Week three weeks ago. Is he hurt, or is this just a continuation of an inconsistent player that we've seen during his first five years in the league? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

As I recorded this rant, we are still waiting for Aaron Judge's decision on where he will play for the next 9, or 10 years. I'm not paying a guy $350-400 million dollars who has a career .211 average in 44 post season games with 66 strikeouts. I love watching him play and I'm a Yankees fan, but I'm not giving a guy who will be 31 in April with those kings of numbers a long term deal like what has been reported.

The Kings begin a six game trip against the Bucks tomorrow night. They take a 13-9 record into the contest which is only more loss than the Suns who are atop the West. Right now name a team significantly better than the Kings? There isn't one. Why not dream a little bit? It is the holiday season right....go for it! Learn more about your ad choices.

Once again Tom Brady did the amazing! Last night Brady took the Bucs down the field for a winning TD vs the Saints with :03 on the clock. What he continues to do at age 45 is unbelievable! On today's show I talk about the GOAT's in each sport. If you were starting a franchise and could pick any player in the history of the game, wouldn't you choose Brady? In baseball would you take Babe Ruth? What about the NBA? Jordan, Kareem. Russell, Lebron, Magic....it becomes more difficult. Then there is the NHL where it is not difficult. To me not only is Wayne Gretzky the greatest hockey player of all time, he is the GOAT in all four major sports. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The Kings beat the Bulls yesterday and are now 13-9, yet some fans want Malik Monk put into the starting line-up. Kevin Huerter has struggled with his shot the past few games, while Monk is sizzling off the bench. Kings fans, I have a message. Don't worry about it. Enjoy the wins!

Enough is enough already. The USA beat Iran 1-0 on Tuesday to advance to the next round of the World Cup, but the talk about Christian Pulisic who scored the only goal is getting nauseating! Pulisic was injured on the play and the talk the past few days has been ridiculous. The magnitude of the goal can't be underestimated, but please stop with the nonsense that he sacrificed his body etc. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Last week the Washington Post wrote a story on Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. They showed a photo from 1957 that showed Jones at the age of 14 in the background of other White teenagers who confronted a group of Balck students outside the doors of North Little Rock High in Arkansas. Since the story was published many are jumping on the Jerry Jones witch hunt train. ESPN's Stephen A. Smith came to the defense of Jones, but many others have not. On today's episode I play some excerpts from some of those most vocal on the topic! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Raise your hand if you thought the Kings-Pacers game at the end of November would feature two of the biggest surprises in their respective conferences. Both teams are off to an excellent start and both teams have to be very happy with last February's trade that brought Domantas Sabonis to Sac and Tyrese Haliburton to Indiana as the main pieces in a multi-player deal.

The Kings De'Aaron Fox is having a marvelous season thus far as he has helped the Kings to a 10-9 record. Last night he had an off-night vs the Suns and I am puzzled by the criticism from many of the fans. I did a post-game show on YouTube last night and you would have thought Fox had played awful all season. Hey, the guy isn't a robot, he will have a bad game once in a while. Here's the bottom line, without Fox this year the Kings wouldn't have 5 wins! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Yesterday Odell Beckham Jr was removed from an American Airlines flight for not obeying flight crew instructions. According to the report from the Miami-Dade Police department, OBJ appeared ill thus the crew asked for medical assistance after he refused to fasten his seatbelt. Upon getting back to the gate he refused police orders to deplane the aircraft. Due to Beckham's refusal, the airline made everyone on the plane get off the aircraft. The plane ended up leaving two hours late! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
